Love In Action Schools

Dates have got a nasty habit of making even the most confident of people feel stupidly nervous, so it’s no surprise that most people need a drink or five to calm their nerves- especially on a first date.

However, if you’re thinking of knocking back the wine before or during a date, be warned- this can have seriously disastrous consequences!!

Not only do you risk making an absolute fool of yourself (slurring your words with your eyes rolling in the back of your head is NEVER a good look), you might end up doing something you really come to regret the next morning.

Take it from me- it’s just not worth it, so stick to alternating a couple of glasses of wine with water.

Now, if only I could learn to listen to my own advice…

Unless you’re totally offensive on the eye, you’re sure to have at least one funny or cringe-worthy date story to tell!

Dates usually tend to go one of two ways- amazingly well or hideously wrong!! I’ve had my fair share of both types, and when it goes wrong it’s not good…

One of my most recent dates was with a gym addict who did a bit of modelling, so it’s fair to say he was HOT HOT HOT! We went for a few drinks in Panacea Alderley, although the whole time we were there he had vile older women chatting him up every time I went to powder my nose or for another champagne cocktail!

I found it funny to start off with, then it was just downright annoying and disrespectful, so I told the last chubby old hag who tried her luck where to go- needless to say that was the end of that situation!!

In addition to this, he spent the entire night pouting and posing at himself in the mirror! I know I can’t talk, but these guy took self-admiration to a whole new level! Why would I want a guy who hogs my mirror space?!

He still texts me to this day asking me to go out with him again- but it’s just NOT HAPPENING!!

There are few things that look more desperate than turning up an hour before a date and sitting there looking like a total loser.

Apart from the fact that you will be sat in your chosen bar/ restaurant on your own, nursing a vodka and coke, you’re putting yourself at risk of looking like one complete sad act!

When it comes to dates, I usually turn up around 15mins later than planned- just to keep them waiting on their toes a little.

You can always tell when your date is starting to get worried when the texts asking ‘where r u?’ start to flood your inbox!

At least it means they’re bothered about you turning up though- which is always a good sign!

Recently, I’ve been doing a little thinking, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m going to be a spinster with about 10 cats all my life, because all I seem to attract are complete and utter tools!

Seriously, every time I go out there’s some arrogant chancer trying it on- NOTE: slapping my arse and coming out with some Godawful chat up line is NOT gonna get you anywhere!

Every single guy I’ve had the misfortune of dating has turned out to be a complete and utter tosser- without exception!!!. This is why I’ve decided I’m not putting up with this anymore!

From liars to cheats to egotistical losers who think they’re something they’re not, I’ve had it all, but I’m seriously putting my foot down from now on!

So, unless you’ve got a decent personality, no issues, a nice smooth 6 pack and, most importantly, a big wallet- DON’T BOTHER!!!!

We’ve all been the subject of some unwanted attention from the opposite sex at some point or another, but what do you do when they persistently pester you for a date that you’re blatantly not going to agree to?!

I’ve recently found myself in this scenario with not one but THREE different guys! It always starts the same way- meeting them when I’m out with the girls and after I’ve had about 10 sambuca shots, then thinking it’s a good idea to swap phone numbers…it never is though!

One guy constantly rings me at 3am on Monday nights leaving ridiculous voicemails, despite me having blanked him for about 2 months now!

Another started mithering me before I’d even got home on the night I’d met him- PATHETIC!!!!!!

As for the third, well I’m not even getting into that one!

God, it’s hard work being this popular with the guys heehee!
